Solitude is a Process

“Strange, how rich it feels to be cleansed of all chatter.”  -Pico Iyer

When holidays land on Sunday, it throws off my entire week. Lol Solitude is a beautiful process for me. I’ve taken ideas from Julia Cameron, Hermann Hesse, and of course, we can’t forget Jesus. There’s some intention involved, but nothing more than I need. Adventure must lurk its creepy head somewhere.

Solitude is so important. Taking time away from it all is vital to the spirit of creativity: questions, responsibilities, advocating, and fighting for what’s right. I can just stop and think or not think and let all the chatter flow right through me until I’m no longer in charge of coming up with all the answers and responses.

Have you taken some intentional solitude this week?

When asked what she wants to teach the world she replied, "Don't stop searching. Too many times, in my old life, I put my search aside for more 'important matters.' I didn't realize the thing I was searching for held what was most important; my soul purpose." Jayne works daily on improving her craft and at times can get down on herself, but her favorite morning mantra is "It's a new day." and that's what she strives to start with.
